Story of shrenik raja son
Here is the Jain story you asked about, in a simple form.
- Who is Shrenik’s son: The prince is Abhayakumāra. He is mentioned as the son of King Shrenik (also called Śreņika) of Magadha. He grows up to be a learned and devout follower in the Jain tradition and is linked to the events around Mahavira’s time. He is noted for his wisdom and for becoming part of the Jain spiritual lineage that connects with Mahavira. This lineage includes his own role in later events such as accompanying Mahavira’s assembly and interactions with Jain monks. ( jainknowledge.com)

Notes on tradition:
- Digambar and Shwetambar traditions both recount the era of King Shrenik and his family, including Abhayakumāra, with largely concordant themes about renunciation, devotion to Mahavira, and the spread of Jain teaching. If you want a precise verse or a direct religious text, I can provide the exact sutra/stotra text and explain its Artha (meaning) from authentic Jain sources.
